    Ridgeline

    I know its been beat to death but would rings and a garda hitch work for an adjustable ridgeline? I know whoopies are probably more effective and so on but would rings work for this application?

    an easy way is to just permanently attach it to the base of the suspension at one end (girth hitch) and at the other use a knot that can easily be untied (slipped buntline, round turn and 2 half hitches, etc). there's no reason to use hardware that i can think of.
